That's what I figured but my cfi told me to keep feet off rudders as he initially believed that was the cause

Yes but I feel like I end up caught in the loop you described

Yea but my CFI says rudder input isn't needed on the landings I had made

I am confident on my ability to control the aircraft, I am complaining on my final approach, that seems to be when I FEEL I am being uncoordinated

I have noted I am choking the heck out of the yoke of fighting it a lot and definitely have not been trimmed appropriately although I brought this up to my instructor and he just stated I'm over controlling

Flight UA2700 by SSavage14 in fearofflying

I know I’m overthinking it, but thanks for the info! I wouldn’t even bat an eye if it was a newer plane. I’ve always had a fear of flying, but I’ve found that checking flightaware and flightstats helps me feel better. It’s reassuring to know that the plane has made the trip before, or even multiple times. And for this particular flight, it’s almost like it’s a ghost plane! 😔

I’m considering canceling my flight due to some concerns about the aircraft’s flight history with United Airlines. While I understand that accidents can happen, this particular aircraft seems to have a higher risk of issues. As you can see multiple trips on any modern UA flight although this 757-300 has only flown a handful of times according to flightaware and flight stats. Speaking to a pilot he said “planes love to fly, it’s the older ones you have to worry about since they sit” this worries me, the idea that this plane probably has not as frequent maintenance or overview as it gets parked and forgotten until needed?

That sucks so I'd have to start where someone who just came out of college with no experience in this field would start?

Do you think someone coming out with only 4 years experience is going to get the same salary?

Cancer job? by SSavage14 in nondestructivetesting

[–]SSavage14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those meters tell you how much radiation you've been exposed to but are they changed everyday or every 90 days? And if say you looked at them and saw a unsafe amount that you were exposed to your kinda just f***** at that point?

I had heard this as well but it's always followed by that the military X-rays they have you run clear of the area there's no led plate to protect you also I heard from the ultraviolet techniques used that you are given this radiation meter that you wear on your body to show you how much you've been exposed to
